Lip Gloss - Suggestions Please

dellas1979

Hi guys,

Feel I need to brighten myself up a little (maybe it is the long winter!). Am looking to buy lipgloss tomorrow (I dont own any lipstick/lipgloss and am clueless).

-Can be sticky - have long hair. One time I wore lipgloss (think it was a clear one from MAC from what I remember) and my long hair stuck to it constantly.
- Would like something for a day time look, with a bit of colour. I dont wear alot of make up.

Any suggestions!!!

Its usually the case that non-sticky glosses come off quite quickly.
I think Catrice Colour show glosses are quite nice because
1)They are very pigmented, you get a nice wash of obvious colour.
2)They aren't too sticky but still last for a good couple hours.
3)They don't dry out your lips...though they arent super conditioning either.
4)They're under a fiver.

I think a glossy lipstick might suit you better, something like Estee Lauder Pure Colour Crystal Lipstick. It will give your lips a glossy, creamy finish but won't be at all sticky and has great staying power. They cost about twenty quid. A cheaper alternative would be 17 Mirror Shine Lipsticks. They're basically the same as the Estee Lauder ones, minus some quality marks. Which is acceptable considering you're getting it for about 15 quid less. If you do opt for this then I'd recommend that you leave it in the fridge as I've had them melt.

Happy shopping

Thanks Lorraine!
Went and bought the 17 mirror shine in beehive. Very nice, and very cheap!
